UPDATE
Following the success of the Brexit referendum in 2016, it was inevitable that many UKIP supporters would think 'job done'. This, coupled with UKIP's various internal issues in the past 5 years, has meant that membership has fallen.
However, under our Interim Leader Neil Hamilton we have seen a resurgence in interest in UKIP. There are many reasons for this... the pandemic has not been handled well by the government aside from its vaccine procurement strategy. The Brexit deal is looking more hollow now that we have had time to examine it - it's clear it was 'spun' successfully by the Tories but there are problems with it, not least the second betrayal of our fishing industry. And then there is immigration, the soft underbelly of the Tory party. They cannot and will not control it.
These, and other issues such as the threat to our society from what is known as cultural Marxism (best demonstrated by the rise of the BLM movement and the statue-smashers), mean that there is a need for a sensible, libertarian, conservative party to provide an alternative to the Lib-Lab-Con. That party is UKIP.
So if you are a lapsed member, rejoin us. If you have never been a member of a political party or are disenchanted with the one you are a member of, join us. This country will be what we make of it in the next few years and we need your support to influence what sort of country we become.
Graham Townley, Acting Chairman
